For context at a pitch invasion in Greece on Sunday someone actually brandished a gun!..''

The darkest daySunday, 11th March 2018by Peter Morris''When an opposition goal can turn a stadium atmosphere, almost like a flick of a switch, from reasonable positivity to universal venom, then you know that something must be deeply wrong in the state of West Ham United Football Club...''

OmnishamblesSunday, 11th March 2018by East Stand Martin''It was like Lord of the Rings down at the running track today. Unbelievable that no-one had the foresight to turn up with a ladder or at least a grappling hook on a rope to invade the Director's seating from the concourse...''

West Ham United v BurnleyFriday, 9th March 2018by Preview Percy''Last weekend it was too cold for Preview Percy. This weekend it's too wet. Thankfully the fixture list means we won't whatever the next around to hear him moan about whatever the next few weeks bring us. But before we - and you - take a much-deserved break from his inane ramblings here's his look at this weekend's visit of Burnley. Forecast: light rain and drizzle..... ..''

Josh Cullen - it surely must be time to see the youngster step up?Thursday, 8th March 2018by Staff Writer #3''Whilst relegation looks unlikely this season, the spectre does still loom large over the Hammers. You would imagine there is enough quality in the squad to ensure another year at the top table, but fans need something exciting to cling to. That might just be where young Josh Cullen steps up...''

The most important of unimportant things?Wednesday, 7th March 2018by Casey H. Moore''Now, I started watching football at a young-ish age. Early teenage years when all you could watch on in the states was Man United and had to work to pay my parents the $35 a month to get the Fox Soccer Channel. Then I started reading more and more about this funny old game where 22 men run around a pitch and at the end of the day to the Germanís go the spoils. ..''

Is this enough from the board?Tuesday, 27th February 2018by Paul Walker''So we have seen the whites of their eyes, certainly not the colour of their money but we do know where they draw the line in the sand over discussions with angry fans...''

Liverpool v West HamMonday, 26th February 2018by Ten Thousand Miles From The Boleyn''-5 Minutes: As kick-off time approaches their famous anthem rumbles around the stadium. With a couple of exceptions, visits to Anfield have been so horrible for the last half century that I can't bring myself to watch Carousel any more. ..''

Liverpool v West Ham UnitedFriday, 23rd February 2018by Preview Percy''After a week off Preview Percy is back. Here is his look at this weekend's visit to Anfield. Warning - contains a charitable appeal. Of sorts.......''

Meeting with the West Ham Utd BoardTuesday, 20th February 2018by The Pink Palermo''On Monday, 19 February, myself and KUMB Editor Graeme Howlett attended a meeting that had been called between the club and the Real West Ham Fans Action Group at the London Stadium, to which ourselves and other WHU supporters' social media outlets such as Hammers chat, West Ham fans TV, and WHUISA had been invited...''

Moyes winning the 100 days warTuesday, 13th February 2018by Paul Walker''Thereís revolution in the air and David Sullivan and his board are finding that it is coming at them from more than one direction...''

United we stand Monday, 12th February 2018by Tross''There seems to be momentum gathering to derail the forthcoming march and divide our support base at a time when unity is what will define us as supporters. ..''

West Ham United v WatfordFriday, 9th February 2018by Preview Percy''Preview Percy spent last weekend in Brighton. Has the sea air perked him up a bit? Has it heck. Here's his look at this weekend's visit of Watford. Not for the faint-hearted......''
